If you want to be technical, Eric has not cast a vote for eviction. However, he repeatedly brings up and then lies about the "mustardgate" for no real reason. Why keep reminding people about the incident and then flat out procalim his innocense in the matter.

Maybe the DR did kind of talk to Amber about remarks involving racism. I thought I read further up on here someone said she came out and said she was in big trouble then they went to vortex. I would think that's what they maybe finally spoke to her about. Was she having a meltdown or crying then? It would seem something like that would really upset her. Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe the tears are mainly fake and she wouldn't feel all that bad if those are her real beliefs. Amber does want acceptance from people though, so I would tend to think it would bother her. On another note, I do think that the DR has always had some amount of persuasion in how HGs vote. So this wouldn't be a first if they're doing it for Eric right now. (JMO)

In BB6 didn't BB influence Ivette to apologize to Kaysar about her racial remarks she made about him before he was evicted the first time?

Missyb....did you skip the part from BB about the fact that Eric's job is to try carry out the tasks WITHOUT THE HGS FINDING OUT ITS HIM???

because with Keeping Kail, they have 6 people in numbers (possibly 7 with Zach) to get rid of other targets before they go after each other... Keeping eric dwindles their numbers...none of the Dustin, Amber, Jameka, Jess crew wants HOH.....so why Tick off peopel you can have in your group by keeping someone you know HAS lied to you? Can you re-explain that. That does not make sense to me how that is better for them then keeping Eric. If they don't want HOH and want to get rid of other people, how does keeping Kail help them? Eric is a big target. Eric is allied with them. Eric will go after Dick and Daniele. Kail is not a big target. Kail is not allied with them. (Except maybe Dustin but he views her as of limited usefulness). Kail can't go after anyone. But that is not an advantage with the numbers as they are now. From the proper gameplay perspective it has NEVER made sense for Dustin, Jameka, Jessica or Amber to get rid of Eric. What are they going to do team up with Dick and Daniele? It is what Dustin and Jameka said it is about the numbers. You worry about being safe this week, then you work on your best play for next week. The 4 of them are ALL safe this week. There best play for next week is to have Eric in there competing for HOH as opposed to Kail who can't compete. To have Eric in there as a potential vote if one of them goes on the block. Eric as someone who will use POV on them if they go up potentially, and Eric as someone who also is a target to be put up on the block ahead of any of them. There is no good reason for them to keep Kail over Eric.

considering UKBB had someone booted out of the house for the n-word (granted they had some problems with racist comments earlier), I think they did talk to Amber about some of the stuff that she said and told her to watch it (people could complain)

next week they would have Ed and Dani ALSO with them gunning for Jen IF they remove eric this week, (Hense 6 in number) last time I checked 6 is greater than 5. Yes they wanted Ed and/or Dani out, but that was of Sequestor, now they have no chhoice and making enemy's of 2 votes is not a wise thing to do...

I don't think the DR tried to get Amber to keep Eric. You know how every Thursday Julie Chen says "Let's listen as the houseguests talk about the nominees and why they should go home" (or something similar) and they cut to the houseguests talking about why each nominee is a threat? They get those sound clips by asking leading questions - but it happens every week and each week it (the questions by BB) COULD be minscontrued as pro/con to either houseguest. It depends on how each person interprets the questions. Amber was very anti-Eric yesterday - so it's no surprise that she may have interpreted the questions from BB that they wanted her to not evict him.

Right. Which means she is a horrible choice to pick over someone who is actually in your alliance and has the same short term goals as you.

BB wants their AP in the game as much as they want Dick and Daniele in the game. BB wants the AP in the game to increase the revenues they receive from text messaging votes and online advertising votes. BB also wants the Dick/Daniele against the odds storyline because America has been eating it up since day one. As long as we keep watching and voting BB/CBS could care less about what feed watchers think about producers influencing the outcome of the game. I agree with you, Chere, 100%!

Eric agreed to vote how America wanted him to vote. So ERIC does vote. To me, end of story. If I was Amber and Jameka, I would want Eric out because he is a strong player. They know D & D are after Dustin so now would be an opportunity to take out a player. Keeping the voting numbers really only helps Dustin. The only reason to keep him is to try to hide behind him.

That is a good point Scotch. They ask them each week about each nominee to say what they like and dislike about them.

Not really a good point, they Ask them that EACH week, so Amber would know the difference between those questions and the DR pushing her to keep eric...

DFNG, But you see the shows. Eric never actually votes. He just sits in there. Eric never said, "I vote to evict Kail." It doesn't matter anyways. People here seem to take it as fact that people in the house know Eric made those votes and the reality is none of them know it. Most of them don't even likely think it is is. So we need to stop acting like all the people in his alliance are privy to this information. They don't know Eric made those votes and they just as likely believe Jen or someone else made them.

Neo - I think it would depend on your frame of mind at the moment the questions are asked. Jut my opinion, of course, but Amber was not in the best frame of mind yesterday after her blow-up with Eric and would interpret things differently than in previous weeks.

Loppes, I understand the part about not finding out about the tasks but Eric keeps bringing it up when he doesn't have to. I know a couple of times it has been broguht up by a HGs but last night, he kept bringing it up unnecessarily.

I was thinking that only the people who watch the feeds probably know/suspect that BB is influencing the votes. The TVwatching crowd will probably just think Eric talked himself into getting the votes to stay.
